Positive Cocaine test reveal for Jon Jones on Dec. 4

Mixed martial arts superstar Jon Jones tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the main metabolite in cocaine, on Dec. 4, 2014, a month before his successful light heavyweight title defense last week against Daniel Cormier at the MGM Grand Garden. The commission had randomly tested Jones early in the month as part of its initiative to more stringently fight performance-enhancing drug usage in combat sports.

Nevada follows the World Anti-Doping Agency code on drug testing matters. In the 2015 WADA Code, it defines in-competition and out-of-competition testing – a very important distinction.

"Unless provided otherwise in the rules of an international Federation or the ruling body of the event in question, 'In-Competition' means the period commencing twelve hours before a Competition in which the athlete is scheduled to participate through the end of such Competition and the Sample collection process related to such Competition."

The definition of out-of-competition is a little easier to understand:

Helluva shirtty one. Never understood how anyone could get hooked on it. I mean it's a little fun for a minute here and there but gawd after not very long it just becomes straight misery.

I completely understand how one becomes hooked on it. It was my favorite drug when I did such things. It is misery after the first bump though...you never recapture that first feeling, and all you seek is more of it.

It was simply not something I ever wanted to keep doing beyond a night or two, but if there's one thing I've ever learned in my many years of chemical experimentation, it's that what "works" for one person might well not be desirable at all to the next. Just the way it goes.

That's correct. Coke was always my favorite back in my wild days. Absolutely loved the stuff but a lot of the people I knew preferred other things.
